FAYETTE COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICT

Promoting conservation and responsible management of natural resources

Our Mission

Our mission at the Fayette County Conservation District is to sustain our local ecology in both urban and rural environments; including but not limited to the conservation, development, maintenance, and use of the land, water, trees, and other natural resources. We coordinate financial, technical, and educational assistance through local, state, and federal initiatives that support our community to implement sustainable practices. We seek to assist other local agencies and producers to implement sustainable and best management practices in cooperation with the Kentucky Agricultural Water Quality Plan and application of additional conservation efforts.

These two districts are honored at the Annual KACD State Convention and they share a presentation giving an overview of their programs.
